About this study

Official title: A Phase IV Clinical Trial of Patients With Solid Tumours Receiving Granocyte 34 (Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF)) as Primary Prophylaxis for Chemotherapy-induced Neutropenia, in a Taxotere (Docetaxel) Based Regimen

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the incidence and severity of neutropenia in patients being treated for solid tumours with a Taxotere® based regimen when Granocyte® 34 is being used as a primary prophylaxis for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.

Secondary Objectives:

Haematological : To evaluate the incidence and severity of febrile neutropenia (with or without antibiotics) and anaemia in patients being treated for solid tumors treated with a Taxotere based regimen when Granocyte is being used as a primary prophylaxis.

Non-Haematological : To evaluate the incidence and severity of the following adverse events: asthenia, anorexia, myalgia, nail changes and oral mucositis in patients with solid tumours treated with a Taxotere based regimen; when Granocyte is being used as a primary prophylaxis.

  8. Neutropenia/febrile neutropenia associated days in hospital

    Measured: for each granocyte 34 treatment from the the study start (visit 1) to the study end (Follow-up visit at 30 (±9) days post Taxotere treatment or with premature withdrawal

  9. Neutropenia/febrile neutropenia associated use of anti-infectives

    Measured: for each granocyte 34 treatment from the the study start (visit 1) to the study end (Follow-up visit at 30 (±9) days post Taxotere treatment or with premature withdrawal

  10. Incidence of chemotherapy dose reduction, withdrawals or treatment delays due to neutropenia or febrile neutropenia

    Measured: from the the study start (visit 1) to the study end (Follow-up visit at 30 (±9) days post Taxotere treatment or with premature withdrawal

  11. Infection with (or without) neutropenia

    Measured: from the the study start (visit 1) to the study end (Follow-up visit at 30 (±9) days post Taxotere treatment or with premature withdrawal

  12. Relationship between the incidence and severity of neutropenia and the different chemotherapy regimens

    Measured: from the the study start (visit 1) to the study end (Follow-up visit at 30 (±9) days post Taxotere treatment or with premature withdrawal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing LENOGRASTIM (GRANOGYTE 34) in people with Neoplasms (no Otherwise Specified), run by Sanofi at 25 sites in South Africa.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in South Africa. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence and severity of neutropenia assessed by using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4. (time frame: For each granocyte 34 treatment, from the the study start (visit 1) to the study end (Follow-up visit at 30 (±9) days post Taxotere treatment or with premature withdrawal). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Oct 2012.
